Gabriel Macht, Suits and some more goodies

Hi everyone!
Gabriel Macht is an American actor - STOP! and rewind, could we just take a second to bathe in the amazing creature that is Gabriel Macht. *second passes* He's the main character in the TV series called Suits. (Another thing I'm currently in love with). Here's what the film's about:

 Mike, once a college scholarship recipient and on his way to becoming a law student at Harvard University, was kicked out of college for selling the answers to a math test he had memorized, ruining his chances of attending law school. Mike instead makes a living as a bicycle messenger, and is convinced by his friend, Trevor, to take part in a marijuana deal. The deal happens to be a sting operation which Mike astutely discovers and narrowly avoids, instead stumbling into a job interview with Harvey, a lawyer at Pearson Hardman and arguably the "best closer in New York City". Recently made senior partner, Harvey must hire a Harvard-educated lawyer as an associate, as per firm policy. Using his eidetic memory and legal knowledge, Mike proves to Harvey he is undoubtedly the best candidate and is consequently hired, despite neither receiving a college degree nor attending Harvard. The series focuses on Mike and Harvey as they try cases for the firm while maintaining Mike's secret.

The film is amazing. The enticing story, the superb actors, the great filming it practically leaves nothing more to wish for. Aaron Korsh created a masterpiece which I fully recommend to all of you.

Since You've Been Gone: review

Hi everybody!

Today I'd like to present you with a review of one of my fave books - Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson. Since You've Been Gone is a story about 2 best friends...well actually through most of
the book only one.

Emily and Sloane have been besties for the last two years. School has ended and the two girls had made plans for the summer long ago. But something goes wrong - Sloane doesn't show up, not on the first day of vacation, nor the second nor third nor ever. She just disappears into thin air. Emily gets a letter from her with a list of 13 things she is supposed to do. Em hopes that when she finishes them she'll be able to find her friend. Will she? What'll happen when the list ends?

Matsons' writing is simple, which makes the novel light and pleasant to read. The book starts slowly but picks up after the first chapter. It's a book that's hard to put down. The novel is really enticing, full of drama, first love, friendship, hidden secrets and a journey about self-discovery. I loved the book and recommend it. It's a perfect summer read (I know it's winter at least here but that doesn't matter, anyone who wants a light read, a bit on the longish side, came to the right place).

Paper Towns: review

Hi everybody!
John Green was a total stranger to me until I read The Fault in Our Stars. I really enjoyed the book and I'm not only talking about the story but also about his writing style. Shortly after having read TFIOS I started looking for other books of his. I decided to buy Paper Towns. The story is about Quentin Jacobsen. He's an average boy finishing high school. One night his old friend Margo Roth Spiegelman climbs through his window and takes him on a long night trip of mischief and revenge. But the next morning Margo doesn't turn up at school. She left clues to her disappearance like a trail of breadcrumbs for Q to follow. The big question being: Who is the real Margo?
I read the book super fast (now I have nothing to read), not because I was short of time but because it was so engaging. The mystery and suspense doesn't let you go. I really recommend this book, Green's witty dialogues and mysterious story is for everyone no matter what age.
